Question

Answer

To say "in word and in deed" means someone has integrity. In other words, his or her words are supported by action. Perhaps a person says he or she is a friend, but does not react as a friend when needed. Such a person would be a friend in word only. We could consider the phrases "in word" and "in deed" collocated, because they do often appear together.
